Birdhouse yarn bomb!

The birds are chirping, the yarn is bright...why not brighten up the day for a few friends and the birdies! I decided to yarn bomb a few birdhouses and then secretly leave them at the home of 2 dear friends and avid bird lovers.

finished bird houses!

This is what I started with...a pre-made birdhouse (I am NOT a carpenter...yet!) and 4 rolls of yarn (purchased for $1.00 each!).

Before...

And then they were bombed...front pieces were created with felt. For the house on the left I used green wool and felted it and the house on the right I used felt that I had purchased.

see the button!

Operation Yarn Bandit...drop off time!

getting ready to deliver!

So, I tipped toed to my friend Barbara's door - a yarn bomber does not want to be caught and I was doing this in broad daylight! And left the house by her front door...

goodbye birdhouse...enjoy your new home!

And then I drove over to my friend Chris' home. Her car was gone so I knew I was safe for a few minutes...and I left the bird house by her back door to await her return.

waiting...

Chris has a fence in her garden with several bird houses. I hope this one will be added to 'Bird House Row'!

P.S. I wasn't caught but Chris knew immediately who the yarn bandit was! Barb thought it was Chris so at least I fooled her for a few minutes.

Here and There - Connecting Across The Pond

On Thursday, June 21, 2012 from 10:00am until 11:30am, I will be at The Delaware Art Museum in Wilmington, Delaware as I co-create a labyrinth walk with Linda Gordon.

The labyrinth will be walked simultaneously in Wilmington, DE and Devon, England as part of The Home and The World Creative Summit, a summit for creative artist and thinkers.

We will connect live via Skype with Environmental artist Linda Gordon (for more information on Linda's work visit Linda Gordon's website).

Here are a few samples of her inspirational work...

Walk is outdoors and at the mercy of the elements...in the event of heavy rain we will connect via Skype but we may not walk! Join me if you can...
